Knit Your Own Boyfriend: Easy-to-Follow Patterns for 13 Men

The Perfect Man Is Hard to Find. Stitching One Is Easy.

It's not easy to find the perfect man, so why not knit your own? With easy-to-follow instructions for 13 different types, Knit Your Own Boyfriend is an irresistible guide to creating the man you've been "yarning" for.

The knitted boyfriend won't make a mess or steal the remote, and he comes with the right clothes for every occasion. Knit Your Own Boyfriend offers a wide selection of 13 eligible types: hipster, artist, rock star, doctor, skater, outdoorsman, and more. You decide on his height, build, and skin color, and you can choose hairstyles like slicked-back, curly, side part—even dreadlocks or a ponytail. You can also add facial hair, including woolly beards, moustaches, stubble, or a goatee. Along with the man himself are dozens of sartorial options. Like a guy in uniform? Make your boyfriend into a chef, a fireman, or a soldier. Prefer someone a bit more businesslike? Knit a suit, tie, and briefcase and make him into a lawyer, banker, or accountant. If you fancy something more athletic, there are patterns for a soccer player, surfer, or even an astronaut. Can't decide? Mix and match the clothing patterns to create your own special man.
